Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smoothie machine technology, specifically to a smoothie machine locking device. Background Technology
[0002] A smoothie maker is a common food processing device, mainly used to mix and blend ingredients such as ice, fruit, and dairy products to make smoothies or cold drinks. Its basic structure typically includes a motor, a set of mixing blades, a mixing tank (smoothie tank), and a fixing mechanism. In commercial or household smoothie makers, a clamping handle is usually used to secure the mixing tank during high-speed operation to ensure its stability.
[0003] In some existing smoothie machines, the clamping handle is connected to the side of the smoothie bucket mounting section via a button. When the clamping handle is folded down, its top surface presses against the top surface of the smoothie bucket, thus securing the bucket. While this structure provides a degree of stability, it still has the following problems: The structure uses a lot of materials, resulting in higher costs: Existing clamping handles usually use thicker metal or plastic materials to ensure sufficient strength and downward pressure, but this also leads to greater material consumption and increases production costs.
[0004] Inconvenient operation: Some models require a lot of pressure to lock or unlock the handle, which affects the user experience, especially when frequently changing the smoothie bucket, making the operation more difficult.
[0005] Large space occupation: Since the clamping handle needs to have a certain length and strength, it may affect the overall compactness of the equipment when folded or unfolded, which is not conducive to miniaturization or portable design.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the existing clamping handle structure to reduce material usage, simplify operation, and improve the overall compactness of the equipment while ensuring stability and durability. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a locking device for a smoothie machine to optimize the existing clamping handle structure.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A locking device for a smoothie machine includes a material container and a motor base. A motor cover is mounted on the top of the motor base. The motor cover has locking devices that can rotate relative to the motor cover on both sides of the end near the material container. Each locking device includes a pull rod and a locking disc connected to each other. A connecting shaft is provided between the locking discs on both sides of the motor cover, allowing the locking discs to rotate synchronously. A slot is provided on the side of the locking disc near the motor cover. First protrusions are provided on both sides of the end of the material container near the motor base corresponding to the slots. The first protrusions engage with the slots. Rotating the pull rod rotates the locking discs, thereby adjusting the engagement state between the first protrusions and the slots.
[0009] Preferably, the motor cover has rotating holes on both sides, and the lock disc has a corresponding rotating ring, which rotates in conjunction with the rotating holes.
[0010] Preferably, the swivel ring is engaged with the connecting shaft.
[0011] Preferably, the motor cover is provided with a second protrusion, and the lock disc is provided with a stroke groove, the second protrusion and the stroke groove cooperating with each other.
[0012] Preferably, a circular groove is provided on the side of the lock disc away from the motor cover, and a lock cover is provided in the circular groove.
[0013] Preferably, the lock cover is provided with a claw, and the circular groove is provided with a locking hole, and the claw engages with the locking hole.
[0014] Preferably, the pull rod is U-shaped.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the locking device for a slush machine of this application has the following advantages: Ease of operation: With the design of U-shaped pull rod and linkage connecting shaft, users can operate with one hand to simultaneously control the rotation of the locks on both sides, realizing the quick locking or unlocking of the material bucket, which significantly improves the efficiency of use.
[0016] Compact and lightweight structure: The combination structure of the rotating ring and rotating hole, and the slot and protrusion is simplified, reducing redundant parts and lowering material costs; the snap-fit design of the lock cover and the round groove further simplifies the assembly steps, and the overall device is small in size and light in weight.
[0017] Enhanced stability: The stroke groove and the second protrusion work together to limit the rotation angle of the locking disc and prevent excessive rotation that could cause disengagement; the precise engagement of the first protrusion and the slot ensures that the material barrel is firmly fixed and prevents it from loosening during operation.
[0018] Ease of maintenance: Modular design (such as detachable lock cover and claw structure) facilitates disassembly, cleaning or replacement of parts, extending the service life of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0021] As attached Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a locking device for a smoothie machine, which is used to quickly lock and unlock the material bucket 1 and the motor base 2. It has the advantages of compact structure, simple operation and high stability, and is suitable for household or commercial smoothie machines.
[0022] The locking device of the smoothie machine in this embodiment mainly includes a material tank 1 and a motor base 2. The top of the motor base 2 is provided with a motor cover 3, and rotatable locks are provided on both sides of the motor cover 3 near the material tank 1. The locks are composed of a pull rod 4 and a locking disc 5. The pull rod 4 is fixedly connected to the locking disc 5, and the two locking discs 5 are connected by a connecting shaft 6 to achieve synchronous rotation, ensuring that the locking actions on both sides are consistent. The locking disc 5 is provided with a slot 7 on the side near the motor cover 3, and a first protrusion 8 is provided at the corresponding position on the material tank 1. By rotating the pull rod 4, the locking disc 5 can be rotated, so that the slot 7 engages or disengages with the first protrusion 8, thereby fixing or releasing the material tank 1.
[0023] The motor cover 3 has rotating holes 9 on both sides, and a rotating ring 10 is provided at the corresponding position of the locking disc 5. The rotating ring 10 is embedded in the rotating hole 9 to achieve rotational engagement between the locking disc 5 and the motor cover 3.

The locking cover 14 is made of lightweight plastic or metal, which is easy to disassemble for cleaning or maintenance.
[0025] The pull rod 4 has a U-shaped structure, with both ends fixedly connected to the locking discs 5 on both sides. Users can control the rotation of the two locking discs simultaneously by simply holding the middle of the U-shaped pull rod 4 with one hand and rotating it, making operation convenient and effortless. The surface of the pull rod 4 can be equipped with anti-slip textures or rubber sleeves to improve grip comfort.
[0026] When installing the material hopper 1, align the first protrusion 8 at the bottom of the material hopper 1 with the slots 7 on both sides of the motor cover 3. Then rotate the U-shaped pull rod 4 to rotate the locking disc 5, so that the slots 7 and the first protrusion 8 are fully engaged. At this time, the second protrusion 11 is located at one end of the stroke groove 12, ensuring that it is locked in place. To disassemble, rotate the pull rod 4 in the opposite direction, and the locking disc 5 will rotate accordingly. The slots 7 will disengage from the first protrusion 8, and the material hopper 1 can be easily removed.
[0027] The slush machine locking device in this embodiment uses a linkage locking design to lock and unlock the material tank 1 with one hand. It has a compact structure, simple assembly, good stability and easy maintenance, and is suitable for various food processing equipment.
